At present, there’s little argument to Man City being the most successful club in the world on and off the pitch, which is something that Newcastle and others can only aspire to be.
Raising the club’s prominence is undoubtedly aided by having Pep Guardiola, the finest coach in the world, leading the senior team.
But it’s obvious that the way City has worked in every area since Sheikh Mansour took over the team is a model that everyone else should aspire to.
Newcastle to duplicate Man City’s ownership model
Together with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), who also owns the four largest Saudi Pro League clubs (Al Ittihad, Al Ahli, Al Nassr, and Al Hilal), the Magpies are pursuing their own adventure.
It seems that they are also beginning to explore a more multi-club ownership structure.
Within a year, the North East heavyweights are anticipated to acquire another club, according to Football Insider.
“I would think most of the clubs will try and move to a multi-club model,” football finance expert, Stefan Borson, told the outlet.
They all appear to think that the City strategy has been successful, and they want to try to duplicate it.
However, I don’t think PIF needs to examine the 777 assets (Belgian side Standard Liege and French club Red Star) too seriously.
“While there is concern about 777, the truth is that most French leagues that are not now owned by multi-club owners would likely be happy to talk to you on the phone since French football is particularly troubled. You might potentially carry it out in other nations.
Because there isn’t much money around, it’s a good time to buy these assets, so if they have the appetite in the upcoming year, I would expect them to buy something. With Chelsea following suit, the multi-club ownership model appears to be the direction that elite football is moving in today’s world.
